  • Doing something worthy of your time

    In the past I have been focusing on making money by trying to give my time. But I noticed, I was not happy with what I was doing because it felt repetitive. It had no purpose and meaning in what I was doing. It was going in the same place day in and day out.

    What I like to do is go to different places while making some money, it is not a lot like previously but it feels like what I am doing has some meaning.

    I also felt like my mental health was declining so I kind of had to do what I wanted to do.

    I guess, try to figure out a way to make money work for me. I think I am going on the right path at the moment but everything in life is a gamble anyways. Working between odd jobs where I get the freedom to be my own boss is meaningful to me.

    What I am trying to do is get my brand out there, just fulfilling my childhood dreams because you never lose it until you lose it even if you struggle at first, but the path will be worth it.

  • Being cold is discipline

    How do you feel about cold weather?

    I prefer cold weather because you can make yourself warm with clothes. However, I sometimes take cold showers in the cold due to trying to get more resilient in being comfortable with being uncomfortable. But I realised it makes me get a cold easily.

    If in contrast to the hot weather, we all get hot and sweaty not all of us have air conditioning as maybe our community doesn’t have enough electricity to go around.

    Otherwise I prefer cold weather as it is training us to be comfortable to be uncomfortable as it kind of relates to mental health.

    If we go through a lot, we become hard and in contrast we become soft, like a soy boy or something.

  • Mental health/illness cannot be cured

    I have been thinking… Maybe it is when people with mental illness cannot be cured themselves but it is part of their personality.

    Not everyone is bothered to complete a specific task. We can only encourage them to do a task. Maybe that is why there are support workers, to help them with what they are lacking.

    When they don’t shower or clean themselves, we can only encourage them. When they are on medications it does make it worse because they have side effects.

    Mostly all we can do is try to support them and slowly they will do their own self care. We also need to use our own input in a softer way as everyone is sensitive how we talk to them in a tone matter.

    Careful how we say things

  • Different environment, different emotions

    When I go to different places, it is a vibe I get. Sometimes it is more relaxing and sometimes it is not. Maybe when we are in congested areas we feel it is more stressful, while the opposite is more relaxed and chill.

    If we hang around a more stressful area, we tend to get more stressed or we somehow get this migraine in our head. While we see greens when we go to the environment our mind stays peaceful.

    I think our human mind finds nature like trees or grass peaceful and relaxing for us. If we are in the city where there is a lack of trees our minds tend to race.

    Even with how the environment is portrayed our emotions react to the environment around us.

    I think we humans are naturally adaptive whether it goes positively or negatively.

    The world that we live in that is natural is always best

  • Me and my project

    How do you balance work and home life?

    Balancing is hard… It is what got me into the mental health ward by overworking. Then the pills that made me even worse.

    I am trying to rebuild what I have started but I think I am getting there.

    I have gone an extra route to mental health because I see issues that need to be solved. Maybe in time I will volunteer or work for a community based business.

    I think everything is community based but what I am trying to achieve is to make everyone feel good about themselves, even when they do  not look good on paper but mostly inside a person’s psyche.

    In this platform I would like to contribute my thoughts and experiences in one hoping it will help everyone in general to have something to talk about or give away their priceless knowledge.

    In terms of balancing… I find that humans are mostly made to work or do something or else we fall into anxiety or depression.

  • Adapting

    What sacrifices have you made in life?

    While I had an almost comfortable living, I tried to make myself uncomfortable by taking cold showers and learning as much as I can in my early 20s because your 20s are still young. Cold showers have health benefits. The main thing about cold showers is learning to be comfortable by being uncomfortable is what trains you as well.

    There are about 40 more years to live freely at this stage, could increase as innovation makes place depending on how fast it takes place.

    So that is why I am buying and collecting anything copper as it is a technology innovation tool. The better mental health we have the more technical advances we make. Right now in this day and age, we are relying on technology year by year.

    I think what is best for mental health is using technology as a way to further your well being and also for convenience.

    I think what sacrifices you make most of the time is how you learn and adapt to the situation because everyone is different.

  • Do what makes you feel good

    I don’t mean you should go ham on what you are feeling you want to do on food and material. Just a little bit that helps to support one another because there are plenty of other people around willing to give a little. We are just fulfilling our role or doing what makes us feel good.

    I mean too much of something is not good for your mental health and will need to keep changing to adapt to the market. Just a tweak.

    If you want to be minimalistic or spend, go for it just don’t give too much without looking after yourself.

    If you have too much, the direction of making the other person feel good is just priceless even if we are giving a little bit.

    One man’s treasure is another man’s treasure is what they say.
